United Nations development assistance framework for the immediate socio-economic response to COVID-19: Contextualization in Senegal Format Summary The COVID-19 pandemic has led to several crises of a health, economic and social nature. To face this crisis, the Government of Senegal has taken various measures to limit the disastrous consequences on the economy and the different social sectors. Thus, a first series of measures fall under a state of health emergency. These were related to the establishment of a curfew at night, the prohibition of inter-city travel, closure of mosques, etc. At the same time, to mitigate the economic and social impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the Government developed and began implementing an Economic and Social Resilience Plan (PRES) with a fund called FORCE-COVID-19 amounting to FCFA 1,000 billion, or 7% of GDP. This amount was used to support the health sector, the diaspora and vulnerable households, to pay water and electricity bills, to partially remission of the tax debt, etc. Nearly 80% of the resources were specifically allocated to businesses in order to preserve jobs and maintain the productive capacities of the Senegalese economy. In addition to the PRES, other sectoral measures have been taken in particular in the areas of health and education as a national response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently, the State of Senegal revised the second priority action plan of the Senegal Emergent Plan (PAP 2/PSE) to integrate the entire government’s recovery plan. This adjusted and accelerated PAP 2 (PAP 2A), to win the bet to revive the economy, backs its vision on the priority of “endogenous development oriented towards a favorable and more competitive productive sector with the involvement of a strong national private sector as well as on the principles of ethics, local preference and solidarity. The PAP 2A is committed to promoting an economy based on “reducing dependence on the outside through sustainable and inclusive industrialization”; “accelerating food, health and pharmaceutical sovereignty”; “strengthening of social protection for better resilience” as well as “greater capacity for private sector intervention in the economy”. The following sectors are therefore the subject of particular attention: intensive, abundant and resilient agriculture, an inclusive health system, an efficient education system, a strong national private sector and the strengthening of social protection, industrial transformation and the digital economy.
